Washington — Ghislaine Maxwell invoked her Fifth Amendment right during a House Oversight Committee deposition, disappointing committee chairman James Comer, who sought answers about her and Jeffrey Epstein’s crimes. Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking charges, provided no information and continues to puzzle lawmakers regarding her potential co-conspirators and special treatment in prison. The committee plans further depositions, including testimony from Epstein’s associates, while the Clintons, initially resistant, will appear later this month. Maxwell’s previous interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche contrasts sharply with her refusal to cooperate now.
